E minor add9

Learning new guitar chords is a great way to come up with new song ideas and to spice up regular rhythm playing. Following on from yesterday's Am add9 inversion, today's Guitar Chord of the Day is E minor add9. Although in this diagram the guitar's E strings are muted to allow for transposing the chord to other keys, you can include them for an Em/9 (Em add9 can also be written as Em/9).

Minor add9 chords can be played in place of most minor chords and are a great way to add interest to regular chord progressions.
Check out some of the other minor add9 guitar chords from previous posts and remember you can use the labels on the right to explore lots of different guitar chord types.

Minor add9 chords use these degrees of the major scale: 1, b3, 5, 9
E minor add9 uses the notes: E, G, B, F# and our inversion uses the notes in this order.
